[GAMEPLAY] (introduced in 5.12) Trinkets while on cooldown are too bright and not dimmed blue

Trinkets no longer go dimmed blue like all other skills when they are on CD. They stay bright and normal colored, with only the cooldown bar being darker blue. This is a problem, because when the trinket has like 5-10 seconds left until it is off cooldown, the blue sliver showing the cooldown will be VERY small, and you can mistake it for being off cooldown in an important fight when its not.

Please fix ASAP. If my trinket has one second left, it literally looks like it's off cooldown when it's not. It's a problem.

Upvote. It's been throwing me off so much. Since I see the bright yellow icon in the corner of my eye, I always think I have a ward ready to throw down, but I don't and it's incredibly frustrating.

sometimes, not even the cooldown bar is blue. which is terrible, because the only indication you have it a small line.

My friend didn't believe me so I took a screenshot. It shows the ward almost coming off CD, but not quite.

Ah. I made a thread about this also without realizing one had already been made.

Yes, very confusing and frustrating. However, someone replied to my thread saying that this was intentional, but I seriously doubt Riot would reduce clarity just for the hell of it.
